I have a FNX tacticool .45 with light and red dot. Need your guys opinion on a drop leg holster. What do you recommend? LGB.

Hello fellow tacticool FNX-45 owner! :) Actually I was not as cool as to have a light installed on it, but wanted the Level-II retention device in drop-offset OWB for it to work as a sidearm to a carbine. FWIW I found this: https://www.daraholsters.com/Level-II/?sku=SKU-78I was able to make it work with my Safariland QLS fork and drop offset receptor to be interchangeable with my other gun and it works like a charm! But it can come with its own drop-offset (AQLD) mount. Look around for light-bearing option from them : https://www.daraholsters.com/light-bear ... y-holster/ and they have full drop-offset packages including matching belts drop-offset mounts, leg strap and mag carriers... Maybe you'll like it - I certainly did :)

Forgot to add my impression of their retention system I was after.
It is extremely fast and it works great - as you grip the handle your thumb hits small lever on the body side of the holster releasing spring loaded plastic retention hood to rotate 90 deg forward to open. In my measurements it did not slow down my draw at all.
One caveat for FNX-45 Tacticool - to clear open retention hood it is relatively long vertical draw for a long threaded barrel to clear the open hood on the top before rotation. If you start rotating the gun after short vertical pull the tip of the barrel can hit the retention hood messing up the draw - or even knock the gun out of hand if the grip is weak. It takes some repetitions to create habitual smooth draw w/o hiccups. FWIW I've put the setup through some paces including full days shooting on the class lines w/o a single mishap.

I second the Dara Holster suggestion.
